Your patients are living longer thanks to their medications, but many of
the physician-prescribed medications used by your patients have dental
implications and side effects affecting your treatment plan.
Some medications are more likely to cause violent behavior and others
can cause a "burning mouth syndrome" and in fact, others may cause
sexual dysfunction. Is antibiotic prophylaxis required for patients
with an orthopedic prostheses? How can I minimize prescribing opioid
medications for post-operative pain? What is the new FDA warning about
codeine and Tramadol in children?

This presentation includes the indications, contraindications, and side
effects of the most common physician- prescribed medications. These
medications represent one third of all prescriptions and
familiarity with these drugs will provide the dental practitioner with
a better appreciation for the health profile of your dental patient.
